My Wife <3 (platonic obviously)
The love of my life Ivy got to be my second redesign victim, rant time!!!!
I haven't changed up her backstory too much from the usual Pamela Isley is a botany student who is groomed by her professor who then uses her as a human test subject before evading the authorities leaving her traumatized and more plant than human. She then flees to Gotham City and takes up the name Poison Ivy. So onto her design.
Not much to say about her pre-Ivy she was a pretty happy and naive person with a love for plants. She has naturally curly hair that's pretty long but almost always tied up, and her wardrobe consists of greens and warm colours. As Ivy her skin is green her hair is a much more unnatural red, the whites of her eyes are a yellow-green and her eyes which were once brown are now green. Her body is often covered in plants and fungi that are essentially an extension of herself, these plants can move and change and what plants cover her body often depend on the season. The clothes she is depicted wearing are also included in those plants. She can essentially reabsorb the plants into her skin which she only really does in Arkham or if she is wearing normal clothes. As Ivy she is prone to violent mood swings, has a lack of empathy with little care for humans specifically men and has no problem killing people. She shows what could be described as affection to very few people, Harley being one of these. The only thing she shows any positive emotion and love towards being plants. Also she has an internal conflict about the whole being both plant and human thing and struggles with her humanity. She's incredibly good at manipulating others although often relies on pheromones to do so. As is shown with her Arkham design if she doesn't get sunlight, nutrients, all the shit plants need she physically wilts, essentially like an actual plant would, her skin becoming paler and dead looking and her hair flattening. In Arkham she is put in a straight jacket due to her violent tendencies and if she's near other people she is forced to wear a mask (think Hannibal) over her mouth due to her toxic kiss (technically her skins toxic too but ya know that's pretty covered and usually how she fatally doses people is by kissing them). Onto the personal details, she's an aroace lesbian, she's friends with the Sirens and that's about it although she will begrudgingly work with Batman if necessary, and is what I can only describe as frenemies with The Riddler. She is friends with Scarecrow though. She's dating Harley although their relationship is nowhere near "normal" and not particularly healthy although it's as healthy as it will be for two criminals who frequent Arkham Asylum. I would like to note she initially couldn't control plants, she developed that ability over time.

My sibling is watching DS9 for the first time, just got to If Wishes Were Horses, and has the best headcanon for why Julian's imagination creates creepy, sexualized Jadzia. Also my sibling thinks Julian gives off aromantic vibes so keep that in mind for context.
Creepy imagination Jadzia isn't Julian's fantasy - she's an intrusive thought. Like the ones aromantic and asexual people tend to have due to all the pressure to be 'normal' - we make up crushes, we fear being forced into romantic and sexual situations, which is exactly what's happening to Julian in this episode. He keeps trying to get imaginary Jadzia to go away and she just won't - and let me tell you as an aroace myself that is an experience straight out of my nightmares. My sibling (also aroace) even confesses to having had intrusive thoughts similar to this when they were younger - so yes this is absolutely a real and realistic aro experience.

I am of the opinion that EL thinks it's really funny to mess with hopper just in general which is where mike picked up the habit, hop refuses to see that El is obviously involved so it's all "that damn wheeler kid is corrupting her" until he accidentally starts hanging around mike more and realizes that mike "little bitch" wheeler never does anything directly antagonistic until goaded by other people. Then he realizes his daughter is a menace and he loves her SO much

OUgh.
AUgh!!
I am plauged!!
My brain doesn't like to stop coming up with new comic ideas and it's such a fucbgnkgmejcndKing problem!
I've had a sudden concrete idea for a Plot for Virgil and Thomas (and the whole of the Golden Hand honestly) and it's.. so So tempting to throw it on the 'current works' pile as if Haggarty and FaHI aren't Enough gjfjfnnendjc
It is humanly impossible to write 3 webcomics at once. Humanly impo s s i b l e .
If i write them like the 200-some-odd page GN's I kinda want them to be it may be.... Easier. And take less than a lifetime to achieve
But st i lL
It sounds like such a fun Romp!!!! With such a different vibe from the other two!!!!!! Like the three of them together kinda wrap up my core artistic/narrative intrests in a nice little trifecta.....
And writing a sort of bad-guys-save-the-day spy+action story in the sort of ridiculous sci-fi world of Andromadis just sounds like Such a good time...
Who Doesn't want to read about five of the United Cosmos' most notorious mercinaries (and their boss) begrudgingly take on a Government Plot that could unravel the entire galactic system? Mostly in the name of their own self interest but who knows what lessons they could learn along the way???
I would love to read that. Personally.

options, people, options!
please refer to the previous post if you want more details/rambling on what ive been thinking (and also references of this section)
so ive cut out all i said i was going to, and now is the first look on how it could go together! these first three are with the camel brown colour and the various grass options
and the next ones are with the orange colour (and grass!)
as usual the camera is kinda fucking with the colours but i think these are at least giving a good impression of how they all go together finally!! heres a couple pictures closer up with more accurate colours hopefully
im still not sure about the contrast on the lighthouse, but its definitely not too bad! i think ill start on the rest of the lighthouse pieces next and get a better look all together, but aside from that!!!
what are we thinking, are any of these looking good?
